I'm looking for any information on parents/siblings for these "lost" females found in Jefferson County before the 1850 census. I don't know who their parents are or what happened to most of them. Mostly as indexed in the marriage index or Archive files in Dandridge.

1. Anny EDMONDS m: John CHAMBERS 8 Mar 1825. In the 1830 census there is a John Chambers with 3 boys under 5 and a wife. In the 1840 there is a John Chambers living RIGHT NEXT TO Fanny Edmonds. I think he dies between 1842 and 1849 and she remarries to George W. Russell and moves to Sevier for the next four censuses.

2. Miss Rainer? EDMONDS m: Wm. PACK 23 May 1833

3. Polly (Mary?) EDMONDS (widow or daughter of WHO?) owed $20.63 in debtor's court in 1836.
Is she the one who is found buying ". . . 1 yd of callico, 1 buntch beeds, 1 yd of check . . ." in 1836?
Is this the same Mary shown in the 1841 Scholatic Population listing showing 2 children between the ages of 6 and 16 and on the 1842 Scholastic Population showing 2 children ages 6 and under 21?

4. Emeline EDMOND m: Wm LAIN 31 Aug 1847 by John Russell. No trace of them. There's an "Emanaline her X mark Lane" on 17 Sept 1850 who is witness to Fanny Edmonds' land sale (100 acres McQuire's Creek very near Sevier border) to Job (Jobe) Parrott. No Wm Lain on the 1850 census.

5. Nancy EDMONDS m: Allen P. SWANN 20 Feb 1856 (there is no Nancy Edmonds on the 1850) Is she an Edmonds widow or an Edmonds?

6. Anna EDMONDS m: Jeremiah PHILLIPS, 16 Aug 1857 (is she "Ann Edmonds" who was living with Rachel Edmonds & Wilson Jones/Jenes on the 1850 census?) She IS confirmed mother of Millie Phillips born 1858 per pension file (assumed to be the Millie Caroline Phillips who married Sam Griffin in Jefferson, Tennessee . . see http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op... . . . and a James N born in 1861 who died young.

7. Rachel EDMONDS m: Wilson "JEANES" 7 Jan 1843. Rachel died 1850-1860. Wilson JENES m2: Sarah Jane Reneau.
We know what happened to Rachel but we don't know who her parents are.
Is this the same Rachel who appears in the 1841 and 1842 Scholastic Populations showing 1 child age 6 and under 21? (which might be the Ann Edmonds (#6 above)? Is she an Edmonds widow or an Edmonds? In the 1843 Scholastic Popluation schedule Wilson Jenes is shown with one child of school age.

8. Nancy EDMONDS m: James C. ELLISON 19 Oct 1848 and is living NEXT TO #7 above on the 1850 census. Is she an Edmonds widow or an Edmonds?

9. Rachel Edmonds & James Chambers 10/14/1839. Bond only. No return?

10. Susan Edmonds & Alexander J. Miller -- bond Oct 31, 1843; November 1843

All help appreciated.

Thanks.
